The image above is the front of a postcard that I put together for Touch of Vintage last night.  I really like the way it turned out, especially close up (click image for detail).

Here’s a new logo that I mocked up for a redesign of a jewelry site called “A Touch of Vintage.”  We will probably change the background color on the site, but I’m really happy about the way this is looking, and if everything goes according to plan, we should be launching her new site in the next couple of weeks.

If you haven’t taken a look at Tamra’s vintage jewelry, you really need to.  She’s got an amazing gift for bold and funky jewelry.

Several friends have decided to open a booth at a local antique mall, and I’ve been working on their web page for the past couple of weeks.  It’s been fun because it’s required me to learn some new elements of CSS to place the two backgrounds on top of each other (blue repeated wallpaper and the scrolls) while still not forcing the page to extend beyond the width of smaller monitors.  It’s also been my first time to use a CSS image replacement technique to force a text image in place of a normal heading font.

I’ve really enjoyed working on this.  Most of the time I don’t have the chance to make things with a “grunge” look, but I really enjoy it when I can.

I found out this afternoon that the Pastor is starting a new sermon series in a couple of weeks.  That meant I needed to pull together a concept for the series and send the stuff over to the printer so that we’d have bulletins on time.

Here’s the result.  Thought it turned out pretty nice (especially given the time crunch).
